cruz4evr Posted February 23, 2012 #529 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Thank you ladies. I am having a wonderful time. Hope everyone is doing well. We are in Dunedin, it is pouring rain. M Semi Formal Elegant Casual I brought 16 pair of shoes, I can only wear one pair. My right foot has been swollen since San Francisco. All of your dresses are stunning and you wear them well! You have excellent taste. Enjoy your cruise and I hope your foot gets better soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveWell Posted February 24, 2012 #530 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Porthopper, I too get a lot of pleasure out of seeing your beautiful gowns and dresses. Sorry to hear about your foot (and the weather) but so glad to hear you are having a lovely time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayhold Posted February 25, 2012 #531 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Is there a similar thread like this for non-formal dresses? I got quite a few new ones today, none "elegant" or "formal" but I'm wanting to post some pictures to decide which I should keep or take back. Mostly sundresses, etc. If there is an ongoing "Does this dress look like crap?" on me thread, I'd rather join it than make a new one. Thanks!

jkudzu Posted February 25, 2012 #532 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Kayhold--We do all dresses, clothes, shoes here. Speaking personally, I love them all! I posted two new sundresses last week! Post them--I want to see!:D Edited February 25, 2012 by jkudzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkudzu Posted February 25, 2012 #533 Share Posted February 25, 2012 By the way, my latest Ebay dress arrived today and it's gorgeous!!! Beautiful colors, pockets, looks great, and is comfy! Did I mention the pockets?;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Faith Posted February 25, 2012 #534 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Speaking of casual, I just got this dress in the mail. I didn't like the way the other white dress I posted a few weeks ago looked, so I sent it back. Someone mentioned shopping at 6pm.com, and I gave it a shot. I love the dress, it fits beautifully and is fully lined. And it has pockets! :D Should I just do earrings and bangle bracelets, or a statement necklace in a cool color? I'm wearing my hair down, similar to the model's style. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DivasDare Posted February 25, 2012 #535 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Cute dress Faith. You have several options, but I'd consider the statement necklace in silver... or maybe a color. There are so many pretty ones out, maybe turquoise or even white. I found this cutie myself. Edited February 25, 2012 by DivasDare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzisme Posted February 25, 2012 #540 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Impressed with all the gorgeous dresses! Getting our house painted and seeing the amount of clothes that I have tells me that I need to "downsize"! Mainly a lot of tops as I don't have a need for dresses.

Leaning toward something bright like turquoise or that deep orange in your dress, which I think is very cute! I love the color.

OklaCruiserMom Posted February 26, 2012 #543 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Well, I got my cute yellow dress in the mail the other day, and it doesn't quite fit yet. This is hampering my weight loss efforts because I have started to feel that I shouldn't wear it anyway, that it's too young for me, too prom-y, so I've almost given up on the idea of wearing it. Little bummed here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little bummed here... Don't be bummed... (((HUG))) You said "doesn't quite fit yet" and I see you have a few more months until you go, I'll bet you'll be losing more inches in the coming weeks. Keep at it. And I'm sure the dress it not as "prom-y" as you say. But keep on your goals and an open mind. You can do IT! ..... Thanks Ms. Lois.

I am having such a hard time getting my mind right! That was the theme of the fitness challenge at my gym last year: Get your mind right! Anyway, if you want to see the dress, it's a couple of pages back in this thread- post #510, I think. Thanks again. I'll keep working on it. Start over tomorrow.

iheartbda Posted February 27, 2012 #547 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Anyone look at any of the Academy Awards fashions? I was not impressed except for a few here and there. I would take many of Marie's, (Porthopper) gowns, as well as some posted here,:) over what I saw. There were a number of long sleeve gowns which normally aren't seen and they weren't on "mature" women. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a number of long sleeve gowns which normally aren't seen and they weren't on "mature" women. ;) I agree, I wasn't impressed all that much this year. In case anyone wants to take a look here are some photos: 84th Academy Awards Red Carpet Photos. Now that I've been quietly following user Curt Jerome Wild's color guidelines, I can see where a lot of the women are wearing the wrong shades for their skin tones. It's not so much the cuts of their gowns, but the coloring that throws everything off IMO. I'm learning to wear shades that work for me and it's totally changed how I shop.

yiddishkopf Posted February 27, 2012 #550 Share Posted February 27, 2012 There were two outfits that I thought were smashing, but I'm apparently alone in this thought because nobody else has commented. The interviewer with a British accent who wore a pink suit with long sleeves looked beautiful and I loved the gown worn by Penelope Cruz. I wasn't a big fan of the grey color but the style was smashing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
